Northwest Flu

Northwest Missouri State Health Officials continue encouraging personal hygiene and contacting the Wellness Center if students exhibit certain symptoms. But now residential life has also set up a "Quarantine Hall" as one option sick students can choose. Douglas Hall on Campus is set up as a way for students to self-isolate away from roommates until their fever breaks. A TV, vending machine, microwave, refrigerator, and personalized food arrangements are all waiting for any student wanting to take advantage of the option. Another option students can choose is to have their roommate stay with a friend in order to not spread the virus.
